--I know steelhead was a big draw for the thompson but don't count out native trout fishery.
--Often overlooked the native rainbow river trout are good size and will be found at most of the sites know for steelhead.
--These are river fish so they will give you a good fight pound for pound.

--also whitefish, single egg pattern fly or bottom bounce good results while salmon are spawning in the area.
